Victorian police officers suspended following drug claims

Three police officers have been charged and suspended amid claims a police station in Melbourne’s outer south-east has been compromised by criminals selling drugs.

Victoria’s anti-corruption watchdog has confirmed it is investigating allegations of widespread drug use at the Frankston police station.

Three servicing police officers have been charged and suspended after testing positive to illicit drugs.

In a statement released to Seven News, IBAC says it’s investigating serious police misconduct and corruption.
